'Even in Russia, they don't treat children like this': A family's nightmare in ICE detention A Russian couple and their children sought asylum in the U.S. In a Texas detention center, they say they endured worms in the food and hourslong waits for medicine.

What’s it like to celebrate your 12th birthday in an immigrant detention center?

No cake. No presents. No party.

Kamilla’s parents told me they planned to buy their daughter a pack of M&Ms — among the only sweets available in the commissary — and pray they get out soon.

Please read their story:

Like, do the Yautja get brutal and ruthless about their hunts? Sure! But they also will intentionally restrict themselves from using weapons they deem too advanced compared to what their prey can do. It's a dynamic I've never seen in another franchise or story

I think one of the most fascinating things about the Predator franchise has to be the narrative underpinning that the Yautja are inherently more honorable than humanity. Where humans in the movies often get needlessly cruel and underhanded, Yautja almost NEVER cross that line #predator #yautja

(3/?) IS PETER THIEL IN THIS TOO? SAM ALTMAN? HOW MANY OF THEM WERE IN ON THIS?

(2/?) AND IT'S ALL OF THEM TOO! Brett Ratner, the Cuomos, the Clintons, Elon Musk, Noam Chomsky, Jay-Z, Howard Lutnick, Mick Jagger, Alan Dershowitz, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew. MULTIPLE PRIME MINISTERS FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES!

I've been going over the latest release of the Epstein Files, and...my gods.

Those nutjobs were 100% right about there being a conspiracy of global pedophilic elites tying each other together with blackmail and evil indulgences. They were just wrong about Trump not being involved. #epstein #doj

Steve Irwin is a safe bet

Hey, really important note: they are firing Bovino, Noem, and likely Miller to convince Americans that the problem is fixed and they can stop being angry. DO NOT FALL FOR IT.

The problem is Trump and ICE, not just the people in charge of ICE. #usa #minneapolis

BREAKING: ICE Field Commander Bovino has reportesly been removed from his position, as per reporting from the Atlantic

THEY'RE AFRAID OF US! WE ARE WINNING!

Breaking: Republican candidate for Minnesota Governor Chris Madel drops out of the race.

“I can’t look my daughters in the eye and say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics and Asians because of the color of the skin... I did not sign up for that.”

A day after the whole app erupted over what happened in MPLS?

It appears that all new videos and bulletins about Minneapolis from creators are being throttled on Tiktok today, 1/25/26. Multiple creators reporting zero views over extended periods, unable to access help center, and bulletin boards being force-closed.

Oracle is censoring americans #tiktok

5. Your ability to block corporate or government pages on Tiktok will be significantly rolled back to allow companies to advertise to you more aggressively on the platform.

(6/6)

4. Pro-AI influencers will get priority traffic from the algorithm, in a very blatant attempt to make sure the loudest and most popular voices on TikTok are the ones lying and telling you that AI is great.

(5/6)

3. Anti-GenAI content will be heavily suppressed if not banned, and mocking people for using AI will likely become a reportable offense. Terms like "AI slop" will likely get programmed to be autoflagged as a Community Guidelines Violation (CGV). Meanwhile, pro-GenAI will become pervasive.

(4/6)

2. Be prepared for any pro-Palestine or even content that questions the IDF's actions to get heavily suppressed, censored, and banned. You will see a LOT of accounts get banned for speaking up about Palestine.

(3/6)

1. Be prepared to for pro-Israel content to get pumped to your FYP. This will include ads, PAC propaganda, and pro-Israel influencers getting dumped on your algorithm as much as possible

What you need to know about Oracle buying out Tiktok.

Oracle's owner, Larry Ellison, is an IDF megadonor with terrifying beliefs about how much AI should be forced into people's lives, so...

Hey, so the Trump administration created a bunch of BlueSky accounts for the sole purpose of harassing left leaning accounts. Here's a link to the full blocklist bsky.app/profile/did:...

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
